Jogl OS X Port is Nigh :)
Since the mouse features were to easy to add and my Android vacation should take a bit longer, our OS X port was a good candidate to burn some hours I don’t have.
What should work for OS X by now:
- NEWT Top-Level Windowing
- NEWT Child Window w/ NEWT Parent
- NEWT Child Window w/ AWT Parent
- JOGL incl. shared context
- NEWT works w/ AWT enabled JVM out of the box
- Method to execute a Runnable on the MainThread
- The new native Jar loading facility (Application, Applet, Webstart)
